    Always amazes me to think of how things might have been based on the Boeing 314 or the Sunderland Flying boat, how Howard Hughes never got his Spruce Goose finished, delivering over 500 men in one landing or parachuting delivery. Mixed up chap in his head towards the end, but brilliant in his hey day.............that reminds me must go and wash my hands and put my gloves back on !
